    please dump any small browsers you know about, i'd like to try them out

    the two i can think of are emacs's eww and links (text mode). eww has been surprisingly useful, even without js support and extremely barebones html rendering

    this is eww:

    emacs window with eww displaying linux@l.ml's header

    and this is links:

    terminal window with links displaying linux@l.ml's header

    sadly, neither is able to login to lemmy, but I was able to login to mastodon through brutaldon

          There's NetSurf, which is really lightweight for a graphical browser. There's also Falkon and Otter Browser. They are more capable, but use more resources.

              oh, cool! this is the best render of (old) lemmy so far

              lemmy's homepage on netsurf

              (p.s. why do we have to have porn on the homepage)

                Does Servo count? It was originally a Mozilla project to write a web engine in Rust, then got transferred to The Linux Foundation when Mozilla laid off a bunch of its staff

                  i'm not sure. is really a small browser? to me it's falls more into the under construction browser category, like ladybird

                      makes sense

                      btw, servo's rendering of lemmy is getting really good. there's some missing stuff (and i couldn't get replying to work), but it's really cool to see

                      the current thread rendered in servo

                      (though we can definitely discard servo as a small browser. it's eating up almost 700 megabytes of ram rn)

                        i took it for a spin also since i hadn't touched it in 20 years; the colors are indeed odd, as well as the scaling.

                          Best I can tell post blur, those posts are marked NSFW. You can choose to hide those posts. Assuming you're signed in anyway, I'm not familiar enough with that interface to tell.

                              Try old.lemmy.world or piefed, both I believe you can login with links2

                                  Try https://piefed.social on lynx, I tried pretty hard to make it usable in a text-mode browser.

                                    That's not the Dillo webpage anymore. There is a whole history behind this but the link is now this https://dillo-browser.github.io/

                                    The dev was at FOSDEM a few weeks ago too https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sFJp8JDg8Yg

                                    I think Dillo is a great project. The whole thing fits on a diskette. Crazy.

                                        i was signed in, but it's still kinda fucked up that showing nsfw posts is opt-out. also, they're not even blurred in the old interface

                                          That's not the Dillo webpage anymore. There is a whole history behind this but the link is now this https://dillo-browser.github.io/

                                          The dev was at FOSDEM a few weeks ago too https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sFJp8JDg8Yg

                                          I think Dillo is a great project. The whole thing fits on a diskette. Crazy.
